I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    They usually come packaged together. You’ll have a hard time naming democratic liberal communist countries/leaders.

        Liberal socialism is a thing. But yes, hard to have liberal values alongside the communist cancer.

        But if you have a hard time naming democratic communist leaders, that’s largely because you’ve only been taught about the totalitarian ones.

        I did say they usually go together.

      But a very easy time naming democratic communists. Even Stalin wasn’t a dictator, according to liberal historians such as Conquest who are experts on the soviet union. Socialism is more democratic than capitalism.
